JULIO CORTAZAR ~ THE FUTURE/EL FUTURO

in Poetry of Art by

The Future

And I know full well you won’t be there.

You won’t be in the street, in the hum that buzzes

from the arc lamps at night, nor in the gesture

of selecting from the menu, nor in the smile

that lightens people packed into the subway,

nor in the borrowed books, nor in the see-you-tomorrow.

You won’t be in my dreams,

in my words’ first destination,

nor will you be in a telephone number

or in the color of a pair of gloves or a blouse.

I’ll get angry, love, without it being on account of you,

and I’ll buy chocolates but not for you,

I’ll stop at the corner you’ll will never come to,

and I’ll say the words that are said

and I’ll eat the things that are eaten

and I’ll dream the dreams that are dreamed

and I know full well you won’t be there,

not here inside, in the prison where I still hold you,

nor there outside, in this river of streets and bridges.

You won’t be there at all, you won’t be even a memory,

and when I think of you I’ll be thinking a thought

that’s obscurely trying to recall you.

EL FUTURO

Y se muy bien que no estaras

No estaras en la calle, en el murmullo que brota de noche

de los postes de alumbrado, ni en el gesto

de elegir el menu, ni en la sonrisa

que alivia los completos en los subtes,

ni en los libros prestados ni en el hasta manana.

No estaras en mis suenos,

en el destino original de mis palabras,

ni en una cifra telefonica estaras

o en el color de un par de guantes o una blusa.

Me enojare, amor mio, sin que sea por ti,

y comprare bombones pero no para ti,

me parare en la esquina a la que non vendras,

y dire las palabras que se dicen

y comere las cosas que se comen

y sonare los suenos que se suenan

y se muy bien que no estaras,

ni aqui adentro, la carcel donde aun te retengo,

ni alli fuera, este rio de calles y de puentes.

No estaras para nada, no seras ni recuerdo,

y quando piense en ti pensare un pensamiento

que oscuramente trata de acordarse de ti.

VIRGINIA WOOLF ~ WHAT DO WE NEED IN LIFE?

in The words that make sense... brilliant writings by writers... by

“By hook or by crook, I hope that you will possess yourselves of money enough to travel and to idle, to contemplate the future or the past of the world, to dream over books and loiter at street corners and let the line of thought dip deep into the stream”

Virginia Woolf

CHAIM POTOK ~ A WORLD WITHOUT PATRIOTISM

in The words that make sense... brilliant writings by writers... by

Every man who has shown the world the way to beauty, to true culture, has been a rebel, a ‘universal’ without patriotism, without home, who has found his people everywhere.

Chaim Potok

VIRGINIA WOOLF ~ THE MEANING OF LIFE

in The words that make sense... brilliant writings by writers... by

“What is the meaning of life? That was all- a simple question; one that tended to close in on one with years, the great revelation had never come. The great revelation perhaps never did come. Instead, there were little daily miracles, illuminations, matches struck unexpectedly in the dark; here was one.”

Virginia Woolf ~ To the Lighthouse

GOETHE ~ THE LONELY SOUL

in The words that make sense... brilliant writings by writers... by

The soul that sees beauty may sometimes walk alone.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

NESTOR MARTIN ~ POEM OF THE ATLANTIC/POEMA DEL ATLANTICO

in Passion Of Art by

Poema del Atlantico/La Noche (1917-1918  Poem of the Atlantic/Night by Nestor Martin- Fernandez de la Torre

This painting is part of the series called Poem of the Atlantic, painting of the Atlantic Ocean in various times of the day and night.

Nestor Martin (1887-1938) is the only Canaries painter, who being part of the symbolist and modernist European currents, left a major collection of work, one that is an essential part of these movements.

The first thing I did when I came to Gran Canaria was visiting Las Palmas and the wonderful Museo Nestor where one can admire Nestor’s collection of paintings. I was impressed and I still am!!! What a great painter coming from Gran Canaria…

WILLEM DE KOONING ~ ON DESPERATION

in Art of the Subconscious ~ Abstract Expressionism by

My interest in desperation lies only in that sometimes I find myself having become desperate. Very seldom do I start out that way. I can see of course that, in the abstract, thinking and all activity is rather desperate.

Willem de Kooning

Standing Man by Willem de Kooning

ANDREW WYETH ~ PAINTINGS CREATED SUBCONSCIOUSLY

in Art & the Unconscious Mind/Art of the Subconscious ~ Abstract Expressionism/Passion Of Art by

I dream a lot. I do more painting when I’m not painting. It’s in the subconscious.

Andrew Wyeth

Bird’s nest

Andrew Wyeth Pennsylvania, USA – 12th of July, 1917 /2009
Famous Andrew Wyeth paintings include realist works of rural scenes, usually with a figure, object, or animal in it. His unusual compositions tend to add to the understated drama of his work.
